Earth Hour at HHHS

On the 26th of March, 2011, more than a billion of people all over the world stood for celebrating the action they take for saving our home, Earth. The school community at H.H.H.S participated in this global action at 11:30 a.m. as we all gathered for counting down and turning off the lights for an hour. This action went beyond the one hour celebration as it engaged our classrooms with reflective moments on our roles and responsibilities as being global citizens. Learners across all levels made connections between this event and global issues, like global warming, climate change, and extinction, which they have inquired about in previous or current units of inquiry. As a result, learners reflected on this event as just a beginning for further actions and demonstrated the caring profile as they thought of how they can expand their actions beyond school. The reflections of the learners also showed valuation and appreciation of the school curriculum that promotes international-mindedness through which they can act and reflect globally.
